In 2026, protests at Disneyland center on two distinct areas: labor disputes and political expression. On the labor front, food service workers and contractors at both Disneyland and Epcot have been organizing for higher wages and better benefits, as the cost of living in Anaheim and Orlando has outpaced entry-level wages. Simultaneously, the park has become a venue for "takeover" days by various political groups, such as the "805 Patriots" (MAGA Takeover) and the "Brown Berets" (Raza Invasion), who use the high-visibility location to voice concerns over immigration policies and civil rights. While Disneyland maintains a strict policy against flags and disruptive conduct inside the gates, these groups often protest at the Harbor Boulevard entrance, leading to increased security presence and travel delays for guests entering the resort during holiday weekends.
